I still need to update my pictures. I hope to have time to do it this weekend - it really depends what happens with this storm as Irma should be going past in a few days. I haven't had much time with pencil and paper, so I drew the dolphin mug again, but this time digitally.

This was drawn by hand using the digital 4B on it. I am pretty sure I had already started it before Nolan mentioned using the 6B. Either that, or I had CRS when drawing it.

I think the digital cup looked better, but it totally missed the concept of using line distance instead of shading to show shadows and highlights. I hope this one demonstrates the concept better.

Thank you, Nolan! I still need to get it finished. Now that the hurricane madness is done and things have settled a bit, I had some time to work on a paper drawing today. I decided to work on the Teddy Bear with the 6B pencil. I used a different set of pencils, but thought my strongest one was 6B. When I put my pencil away, I noticed it was 8B. Oh well. The drawing is actually darker than it looks when photographed. It was interesting doing the whole thing with only one pencil. A nice challenge.

I used a new trick to get the outline done. I found a light box app for the iPad. I printed out a copy of teddy, then traced him using the iPad as a light source.
